Of Orcs and Men charges into battle in screenshots!

Of Orcs and Men, the grand role-playing game jointly
realized by Spiders (Realization and Development) and Cyanide
Studio (Concept and Production) for PlayStation 3®, Xbox
360® and PC, today unveiled a new series of screenshots, which
reveal some of the new lands to be explored in this epic adventure.
The game will invade E3 this June at Focus Home Interactive's
booth!

The game starts you in the role of an elite Orc warrior, deeply
involved in the war against their persecutors, Humankind. You have
been sent on a dangerous mission that could change the course of
the war: kill the one responsible for all the bloodshed and
mobilization of the human race to destroy the green-skinned
people--the Emperor himself. Joining you in your mission is a
Goblin, an assassin and master of stealth, who complements your
Orc's brute strength in battle.

From the Wall separating the Empire of Men from the Orc
territories, to the Isle of Laments,
Of Orcs and Men’s fantasy universe comes to life
thanks to the powerful graphics engine developed by Spiders. The 5
screenshots revealed today are a testimony of the care brought by
Spiders and Cyanide to realize a quality role-playing game endowed
with a strong identity, an exceptional ambiance, and unique
graphics rendering.

Of Orcs and Men will be presented at E3 at Focus Home
Interactive’s booth #5436 in the West Hall. To book a
hands-on demo and a chance to meet the development team, please

Take arms, and lead the green-skinned people's rebellion in
September 2012!

Of Orcs and Men immerses you into a brutal world at war, where
the Empire of Men’s oppressive threat looms over the
territories of the Orcs and the Goblins. Goblins are systematically
persecuted and slaughtered, while Orcs not killed in battle are
captured and enslaved. The game first puts you into the role of an
elite Orc soldier from the legendary legion of Bloodjaws, a league
of warriors deeply involved in the war opposing the Orcs and
Goblins on one side to their persecutors, Humankind. As a veteran
warrior who has seen the most brutal of battles, you are appointed
by the Orc commander to complete a mission that could change the
course of the war: kill the one man responsible for all of this
bloodshed, the one who has, for years, exhorted the human masses to
loath and fight the green-skinned people: the Emperor himself.

A Goblin will soon join you to aid you in your mission…
he is everything the Orc is not. But you find that this works to
your advantage as you fight on the battleground and off. Making
advantage of their natural traits, they have their own skill trees
you will develop. While the Orc focuses on power, reflecting his
incredible strength, the Goblin will benefit from darker powers and
stealth abilities, making him the perfect assassin.

From the filthy alleys at the foot of the Great Wall, to the
depths of the Empire of Men, your two infiltrated heroes will face
the greatest dangers through their epic quest. They will commune
with the Wizards, fight the assassins and soldiers of the Empire of
Men, and oppose the powerful Sisters of Laments.

As the world falls into chaos and you face a cruel and merciless
humanity bent on eternal persecution of Orcs and Goblins, your
unlikely duo will have one last chance to change the course of
History and, hopefully, bringing peace between your peoples.

Take arms, and lead the green-skinned people's rebellion in
September 2012!
